Mr.. O'Brien was Lady Mcdonald, wife of
the Canadian Premier, and Sir Leonarp
Tilley, acknowledgements of New
Brunswick. Fifty miles out from East
Kingston a reception committee met the
train and returned here with the
party. As the train slowed up at the sta
ton on the Place d'Arms, it was seen
that large crowd mad assembled. As
Mr.. O'Brien stepped out of the Car he
was in the much-talked-ot Kingston, the
"Derry of Canada" as it is called. Kingston
has g population of 900, of which 5000
are Catholics. There are only eight po-

Chief HoTsey were in waiting. To the
surprise of Mr.. 0'Brien and the rest of
the party not q dissenting voice was
heard in the storm of cheers which arose
as Mr. O'Brien entered the carriage.
The party were driven to the Burnett
house, where a crowd assembled and
cheered the editor. Battery A If
the Dominion regular artillery corps
and the Prince of Wales own
rifles were held IN the armories for an
emergency, besides large number of
special constables to aid the ordinary
police force. On arriving at the skating
rink crowds of O'Brien's sympathizers
were found gathered around the building.
Along the sidewalk policemen armed
with rev0Ivers moved up and down, and

that he represented the Orange farm

but to b end the Orange

over the Ulster farmers. They cheered
as heartily as anybody else. The uDeXs

Then the first Qose was heard
outside the hal where several hundred
men and boys had collected crying,
"God save the Queen" and groaning for
O'Buen. Every cheer which went up
inside the hall was answered by q loud
roar of angry response from without.
The crowd outside now sWelled to i'm

The nesting was brought to
al end by a few remarks from
Chairman j. j. Bethen, who told the
audiece to go home peaceably. Then the
people started to 20 out, Mr.. O'Brien be-

stones and cobble stones began to fall
like hail. the women screamed.

"there he is, drag him out

party darted into Wellington street
another shower OF bricks end broken
stones came crashing through the crowd.
O'Brien and his friends bent their heads,
but received the missiles on their bodies.
D. F. Kellogg, the New York Sun corre-l
spondent, and j. NJ. Wall, representative
OF the Associated Press, caught up with
O'Brien Just on the stoOp leading to the
house of John Newman, Protestant. The
doors were open. A shower of missiles
again came across the street. The crowd
surged. Wall and Kellogg were flung
to the ground and O'Brien disappeared,
evidently into NeWman'S house, but
up to the present time nobody is certain
of this for no one really knows where ne

through the vinegar works on Ontario
street for the purpose OF getting
into the house by the back
entrance. The mob, however,
interrupted them. They had to fly for
their lives. The mob rushed to the Bur
nett house, thinking O'Brien was there,
shouting, "To hell with home rule!"
and "Kill him" Although Mr..
O'Brien was rot there they fired
volleys of stones at the windows, and
then groaned and yelled to their hearts
content. j. NJ. Wall, the wounded
attempted to pass in

graph office, but his bandaged head
attracted the attention OF the Orangemen,
who went for him with rush. He ran
down side street, took # the bandages,
and escaped.
